"Rashard Mendenhall is sick and did not practice today, nor come anywhere near it. What does that mean? Nothing, unless whatever he has lingers (no, itís not the swine flu). Willie Parker took his place in practice and said afterward that his toe feels better and heís getting comfortable with his new shoes."

Hopefully Mendenhall will be okay enough to start this week. Rest up Rashard, rest up.

Wont matter either way if he is really sick and cant play they dont need him to play against the Browns if it would happen to get that bad that he couldnt go. If Willie is practicing and says he feels good then I am sure that him and Mewelde Moore along with Ben continuing to play great can carry the load just fine against the pathetic Browns...

Agree 100%. With or without Mendenhall, Steelers should dominate Browns.

"Mendenhall practiced and was removed from the injury report. Polamalu, Parker, Frazier, Essex, Kirschke, Farrior all are probable for Sunday"
